Maritime
Fire Training for the High Seas
Maritime fires are completely different from a house or structure fire. Instead of walking into a fire at ground level, a firefighter often approaches at the hottest point and goes down into the fire. Proper training can’t be taught in a classroom.
WHP Maritime Trainer gives trainees the look and feel of a real ship.
Fires represent the second largest hazard for passengers and crews aboard offshore platforms, ships, and high-speed watercraft. Explore our range of training solutions:
